Introduction Prosthetic alignment, positioning of a prosthetic foot relative to a socket, is an
iterative process in which an amputee's gait is optimized through repetitive optical gait …

Problémy s rovnováhou se negativně projevují v provedení pohybu a zvyšují
pravděpodobnost pádů, které jsou často příčinou vážných zranění nebo úmrtí. Znalost …

Objectives: The objectives of this scoping review are to evaluate existing measurement
parameters and clinical outcomes used in investigations of transtibial socket fit or prosthetic …

The aim of our study was to investigate which technique among hybrid external fixation,
plate and screws, and intramedullary nailing produces better outcomes in foot loading when …

Background Deficits in balance control are one of the most common and serious mobility
challenges facing individuals with lower limb loss. Yet, dynamic postural balance control …

Background: Prosthetic socket fit is an important element associated with successful
ambulation and use of a prosthesis. Prosthetists and rehabilitation clinicians would benefit …

Analysis of upper-body accelerations is a promising and simple technique for quantitatively
assessing some general features of gait such as stability, harmony, and symmetry. Despite …

Balance control plays an important role in maintaining daily activity. However, studies on
postural control among middle-aged adults are scarce. This study aims (i) to examine …

Mechanisms behind compromised balance control in people with transtibial amputation
need to be further explored, as currently little is known specifically about postural control …

After a transtibial amputation, the prosthetic foot aims at replacing the missing ankle joint.
Due to alteration of proprioception and mobility, the static balance of amputees is …
